They are supposed to be spammable and easy. Only 3s are hard to get.

If you're going to go by the book, at least actually go by the book.

1 Dies ARE just describing it better than "I punch it", but 2 Dies are just have to do that and use the environment to your advantage.

By the core rulebook, all you need to do to get a 3 Die stunt is change the environment somehow in the action of punching a dude in the face. Otherwise known as "being a Solar Hero Stylist."

But all of this ignores the most important rule in Exalted: If you don't like how the rules work in a situation, change them. When I'm ST, if my players don't mildly impress either the group or me with their stunt, they're not getting anything above a 1-die.

I am. Only 2s demand environment usage. Swinging from a rope, jumping on the enemy's weapon as you dodge it, saying "just as planned" really hard as you hump your enemy's mistress, pulling a torch out of its frame on the wall to parry the incoming knives.

This can be the physical environment or things the character knows, like an enemy's phobias or a lover's favorite flower. The player gets two bonus dice and may perform limited dramatic editing.

"Interact with the environment in a meaningful way" is different from "I push myself off the ground. Oh, and it's wet and made of rocks".

Yep. You could say MacGyver's awesome. But you could also say Asura's Wrath is awesome. The two are completely different, and the only thing they share in common is amazing feats of skill. It doesn't give any spoilers, other than the fact that someone thinks it's good.

Re: D&D Demotivators Episode VI: Return of the JPEG

I should have multiquoted the whole thing, the original demot poster said that someone could summon and enhance a complete army, then horngeek said it was a fate/zero image and since I am currently watching it I didn't click the youtube link to see what it was about for fear of spoilering myself out of what I hope/assume is an awesome battle.

But then Gettles said it was Rider so it was a spoiler for me. In anycase I overacted a bit, so I am sorry if anyone was offended by that post.

A well. Obviously there's no doing it wrong with such things. And I notice I did not mention that I meant using pictures that do not show the world in question itself, but something different that is "just like in X".
